Psalm 123:1-14

Do you live with regret from hasty decisions or impulsive choices? Have you ever reacted to a situation because of the pressure you felt to act? To avoid a life of destructive reaction, we must learn to watch and wait for the Lord. This divine watching and waiting is a lethal combination to defeat compulsive and impetuous decision-making. Watching for God places us in His presence, where we will be strengthened and empowered for life.

Life is filled with unexpected journeys, both good and bad. While it’s often easy to see God in the good times, it can be challenging to hold onto hope in the midst of tragedy and impossibilities. Be empowered to believe in the One who does the impossible. When you expect a God encounter in your darkest hour, He will redeem what seems hopeless with supernatural answers!

The book of James provides practical wisdom for living God’s way in God’s world. Over the next 14-days, we will examine James’ exhortation for us to look like true believers. There are real rewards in giving this book attention and seeking to apply it to our lives. It has application as to how we might relate to materialism, consumerism and individualism – which make it incredibly relevant to our culture.

What if you could see God clearer and know Him deeper in the middle of your struggles? You don’t have to keep trying to muster up more grit, willpower, or wisdom on your own. You can tap into the source of true, unfailing strength. How? In this 14-day Bible reading plan, you’ll discover where strength really comes from―Jesus, who holds everything together.
